I’ve been working on a couple of different projects which use Glow as part of the Creative Learning Network. Glow is an online network for teachers and pupils across Scotland to use to share resources. We’ve been hosting Glow meets, which is like video conferencing, but for school classes. With Pencaitland Primary and Macmerry Primary, they shared their adverts for inventions across Glow which they’d come up with after visiting Prestongrange Museum. The pupils had a great time waving to each other across the webcams and had great fun communicating across the internet!
We also had a Roman soldier from the Antonine Guard who spoke to classes in Musselburgh Burgh Primary, and we recorded it so others could watch it online. The Roman soldier kept the pupils on their toes by getting them to act out different marches and Roman shouts. The webcam became a bit wobbly at times! You can see a picture of him on our Facebook page.
I visited Aberlady Primary yesterday. With P5/6, we looked at Victorian artefacts. You can see what we got up to on their website! Look out for my favourite photo using magnifying glasses…
